Default I'm a newbie

Hi
I have just gotten my ls 430 up and running after receiving it as a gift from a client . Yes a gift with circumstances ... The car had been in a hailstorm and had the glass replaced but not the body damage ( pics to follow) then a year later the owners daughter had a run in with a deer ... So needles to say $12500.00 was the estimate and she said " nuts just donate it to NPR and send the receipt " that's when I said can I have first option ... Well I got it up and running for $4200.00 but not getting the hail repaired yet .
I am having an issue finding hood lifts if anyone has any leads I would appreciate it

Thanks
Inxtc

Welcome

You might try sewell for parts - click sedans, your year, then go to exterior and I would think you'll find what you're looking for. Clublexus members also receive a discount at some point.

Welcome and good luck with the repairs. I just bought new hood lifts from this company. They are made by Strong Arm and have a limited lifetime warranty. I also purchased these for my Land Cruiser. No complaints and they are reasonably priced.

I would look at Sewell for OEM parts though. They are by far the cheapest even with the shipping and handling.
